Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

Charles the Second was the first King after Oliver Cromwell served as “Lord Protector”. Cromwell was a strict Puritan and banned all forms of frivolity, including Christmas and parties. Hence, “the king who brought back partying” 🎉
there it is
Also he liked to party himself he built lots of theatres, introduced champagne and probably had about 13 illegitimate children!
@@kermitmurder5536 only 13 lol
@@evan typically the songs go along side a section of informational talking or a sketch which helps fill in the gaps from the songs
@@janani1826 reminds me of a specific leader of the UK... I think you can guess who
Horrible Histories: tried to stop people romanticizing Dick Turpin
Also, Horrible Histories: makes a song about him with Matt Baynton wearing eyeliner
Sassa Frassy They said his job wasn’t hot, not him
Probably influenced by Adam and the Ants, like the song is reminiscent of "Stand and deliver"
I know right? Don't put Matt Baynton in front of me and expect me to hate him.
It’s 100% Adam and the Ants- hence “you think life is one big antic”
XD I LOVE THIS COMMENT
Evan: “Why do you need to know the monarchs names?” - Every Brit watching this: “Why do you need to know all the presidents?”
Was just looking for this comment 😂😂
Lmao YESSS
Exactly
SOO TRUE!!
I learnt every President’s name from the song off the Animaniacs, that and the names of all 50 states and their capitals. Loved both, and can still remember both now. As a Brit it was a fun and easy way to learn.
Evan: "Why is Dick Turpin so important to The British? He was just a highwayman." Why is Jessie James and Billy the Kid so important to the Americans? They were just outlaws.
Mia Petersen don't forget Bonnie and Clyde
Yes fair point they're the equivalent!
Ned Kelly for Australians!
Also what makes the song so good is that it is a very clever parody of Adam Ant's Dandy Highwayman!
@@Lizallinos I thought it was Stand And Deliver?
It didn't just cover brittish history, it also covered stuff like Rome, Egypt and even American history
MIBROCKZz I said to my mum how if it wasn’t for horrible histories then I wouldn’t know about the Greeks, the Georgians and many other eras
And the Aztecs and Mayans
And Australia
And Spanish and French
Basically a lot lmao
“Why do you need to know all the monarchs” why does America feel the need to know most of the presidents
And to anybody that says “they ruled the most powerful country in the world”
Yeah... so did our kings and queens
To be fair most Americans can’t name Polk phillmore Tyler and other presidents
Yes exactly even in wales we have to repeat them all to our teacher at the end of the year
My Swedish cousins friend knows all the Swedish kings and queens just because she can and is trying to learn the English monarchy now
As an American, I can say most of us (at least I think) cannot name more than like 9 of them and not in order. At least in my school, they never taught the presidents except Washington, Lincoln, and a few others.
Evan: ‘the monarch song’
Me: immediately screams, WILLIAM, WILLIAM, HENRY, STEPHEN, HENRY, RICHARD, JOHN, OI!
YES!!
Ava Lewis wow you failed already
same
@Harriet Antrobus Can I surgest heresey and add a verse or two ; "Before you William It started with me Athelstan, then came the Ed's, Edmund, Edred, Edwy, Edgar Edward II, Elthred Unred who screwed things up! In came the Danes - Swain, Cunt, Harald I, Back came Wesex with St Edward all before Harold Godwinson!". Not the best ryme but, I did my best.
Me too haha
You didn't cover some of the best ones:
- Divorced, Beheaded, Died
- Finale Song
- RAF Pilots
- Charles Dickens
- Born to Rule
- Rosa Parks
- Patchacuti
The queens don’t like divorced beheaded died
Source: six the musical
•blue blooded blues
•evil emperors
•stone age song
•transportation
So true some of these are the real bangers
also the suffragettes
Born to ruuule over you
King George 4, 3, 1 and 2
Dick Turpin is important because in the UK he became something of a folk hero after his execution when his life became seen as glamorous and romantic and mythologized through books and poems. hence why the song tries to dispel that myth, showing he was really a violent killer 😳
Of course casting Matt as Dick Turpin did absolutely *nothing* to deromanticize the story😉
And then they put Mathew as Dick Turpin with eyeliner...
@@k31ra_39 I think the song is meant to be reminiscent of Adam and the Ants.
@@JustSiouxMe yes I think it is, my mum mentioned that when she first saw it
@@meemurthelemur4811 With Eyeliner!
"I don't know why Dick Turpin has more views than the Charles song" it's because Mathew Baynton is hot as hell as Dick Turpin, next question
It's only bc he has a nutty hairdo..in the Charles II song
Honestly tho I've probably contributed 1/2 of those views on the King of Bling video. It's my alarm and my ringtone and the most played song on my phone lol. I absolutely love it
Yep i went to comment on the dick turpin video, yep if I remember when they were there it wasn't very child friendly
@@5minutesofyourtime I reckon that's why they made the channel kid friendly and removed the comments- too many people thirsting after Matt wearing eyeliner 😂
@@really-quite-exhausted that's soo true. If you saw the comments in the Matt compilation you'd see pretty much all those types of comments
And people say British culture isn’t a thing, WITH ALL OF THESE BOPS
Think he should watch drunk history
Very bop
@@txrhv9743 yass!
also I wonder if he's seen the four Georges song yet...
Alex McShane Hill omg yes Mat’s one where he was like doing the middle finger 😂😂
@oooi
I think they mean other than the stereotypes some people just assume that we're the same as America but with better healthcare systems and gun laws
I feel like it's my British duty to explain that people love the Dick Turpin song because as gays, girls and emos we shared a collective obsession with the guy liner look.
I swear to god that music video is why I’m obsessed with Gerard way
@@rat33 it was based on Adam and the Ants tho?
Yes the guyliner was legendary
@@oliviadaly4795 what does that have to do w/ anything? Adam and the Ants aren't the only ones who do guyliner
In my opinion, on second thought, the makeup in Baynton's eyes made Dick Turpin look really wicked - which he really was.
I watched this with my dad, I have never heard the sentence “stupid American” so much in such a short time.
He’s not wrong..
I've avoided showing my parents any of his stuff for that exact reason
Your dad's right.
🤣
My dad:
Evan: "Are we gonna learn Henry VIII's wives?"
Don't worry, that's a song too.
Pahaha same
Divorced beheaded died
Divorced beheaded survived
I am Henry the 8th
I had 6 sorry wives
Some might say I ruined their lives!
I love the Henry's wives song that's how I learnt that part of history in my school
BA BABA BABA BA BA BA BA
As is "why did Henry VIII dissolve the monasteries?", as sung by Rowan Atkinson.
Things you cannot insult (quite rightly) in the UK:
1. NHS
2. Horrible Histories
(due to popular demand)
3. Tea
4. David Attenborough
Yes
Yes
Harry Russell the tories disagree with number 1
David Attenbrough?
The chips
Best day in Primary school:
Wet break cuz it was raining, and your teacher puts Horrible Histories on.
You sit there with your milk and apple shushing everyone while the intro plays and you just vibe
when i was in year 7 i remember them playing it and i have never heard the opening theme sung so loudly
@Hidden Stash dont forget the special episodes when its and your host a drumming rat lmao
Wet breaks, we would either play a bunch of games or watch movies. My favourite was when they put on Wallace and Gromit.
@Hidden Stash they did that with the old cast too
This comment gave me a wave of nostalgia that iwasn't ready for
“why do you need to know all the monarchs’ names?” why do yous US americans need to know all the presidents? 😐
edit bc apparently people are still salty 10 months later: my point was less “every USian knows all the presidents of the USA so of course every Brit knows all the English monarchs” and more “most British people still don’t know all the monarchs’ names, but there is a song in case people do want to learn them, in the same way that there are things to help people learn all the presidents of the USA if they so wish.”
US americans?
Louise Campbell Americans who are from the USA; I see lots of people from mexico and south america annoyed at how “american” seems to only mean part of northern america, when actually it’s anyone from the americas
They're only Scottish monarchs from James Stewart all English monarchs before then
USA not the Americas but they did Inkas and so forth
Amanda Richardson i’m sorry, i don’t get what you’re saying?
I’m so mad that he said “historically accurate” instead of “historically accu-rat” but whatevs lmao
Oh my gosh, saaaammmeee 😂
Olivia Grace 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same
time stamp pls?
Best. Comment. 😂
You: horrible histories is a kids tv show
Me: coming down stairs and finding my mum and dad watching it alone
Did you or they ever watch the adult version?
I-
Me, a mum to a 10 year old watching this alone: 👁️👄👁️
Me and my other 35 year old friends being the only adults without children at Horrible Histories at the local theatre. Fav bit was in the interval where we got "boggle goggles" to see it in 3D.... it's live theatre. it's already in 3D
I bought all the books for my children (or for me) and the DVDs (also, probably for me!) and watched them all on Netflix minus children. My kids are all big now and still love it LITERALLY!!
Also, I have a degree in history and have learned way more from HH. (Think that says more about 18-21 year old me than my uni though!)
"I actually don't know who that is..."
Me: HE WAS A VICIOUS HIGHWAYMAN...!
There are two types of people in England:
1) Those who had a crush on Mathew Baynton growing up
2) Liars.
can confirm i am a lesbian and yet somehow still had a crush on matthew baynton
KonnichiBeaucoup as a lesbian , yeah
Can I just... thank you for being the only person in the comments to spell Mat's name right, I'm dyin over here.
@@SpeedyOwl oh good lord it only has one t what on gods green earth
@@konnichibeaucoup4089 It does! I'm screaming was everyone too busy singing the outro to ever read the actual credits 😂
Fails to sing the sing the monarch song
Every british student: pathetic
Is it just me who's primary school just went "meeejehdjjccj" instead of "Ed Ed Ed Ed" because we couldn't keep up?
Hamilton fan: How did you learn to rap Guns and Ships so quickly?
Me, a British student: Well..... *Looks whimsy as the Monarch song starts lightly playing in my head"
Excuse me, the Australians also know every Horrible Histories song, especially the moonachs
Abby Maskell wow that’s great!
Australian students too lmaoooo
“i love historical gerard way” ....that’s historical adam ant
I was scrolling through the comments begging to find somebody else who knew!
Yass
Horrible histories taught us English kiddos more than our actual history teachers did
Hey Fred, how you doing?? After-life treating you well?
Besides Nazi germany and nazi Germany and the tudors, that what the curriculum felt like the most of the timw
I feel like you haven’t quite realised the scope of history this show covered
Only passed my history exam because of that show. And to this day I can still tell you every British Monarch in order
Izzy Deans naming every monarch (because of that song) is my biggest flex
I need to say, they actually only had eight facts that were wrong in all of every segment in every episode, they also had like 10 historians that they would constantly ask for fact checking lol
That’s apparently 8 out of 4000 or something like that
You can literally start singing ANY horrible histories song and someone will just subconsciously start singing it with you😂
This is how I relate to people I've just met XD
Exactly! 🤣
The bohemian rhapsody of British kids 😂
I mean technically it’s their first introduction to the monarchs before they discover “Queen”
@@yazplatt So true
Well me and my friend started singing Charles II on the bus and it was so funny
Kind Charles II ‘brought back partying” because he reinstated holidays that Oliver Cromwell had banned, like Christmas. Cromwell has also banned makeup,sport and plays which were also mentioned in the song, and Charles II brought them back ^.^
Champagne?
I'm starting to wonder if Cromwell was right. F*ck c(r)apitalism!
@@TheSapphireLeo huh-
@@TheSapphireLeo who hurt you
Welcome back to an American trying to get their head around british history
Evan: I’ll give the Dick Turpin song 6.5
Everyone: Nobody liked that
I actually liked it no offence
He and probably most of the people seeing this one were just too young!
I'm old and I loved it!
😀
He probably didn't 'get' the Adam and The Ants parody. Pretty much all their songs are parodies of musical genres and/or specific artists, and if the reviewer doesn't know the original they miss out on so much of what the HH songs are :)
Yessss all the horrible histories songs are bopsss and you aren’t british unless you had a crush on Matt Baynton
Ha, that's my friends friends he went to my school, I've met him and he's just got the best personality ever
Guilty lol
haha yes!
@@whoknowswhat186 lucky hes so fit
I had a crush on the one from the matchacutie song
Evan: “Oh I thought we were going to learn about Henry VIII’s wives...”
Everyone else: “Don’t worry there’s a whole song for that.”
Me: “Song? There’s a whole MUSICAL for that.”
(It’s called Six: The Musical. If any of you are at all interested in history/Henry VIII/ feminism/ musicals or are just curious please go and check it out! It isn’t boring or a period-drama type musical. It is ONLY the 6 wives (no ensemble), and they each have a song in the style of a contemporary artist, and it’s very clever. The general idea of the musical is “we were all so much more than just one of Henry’s six wives)
I went to see SIX at Christmas it is a very good musical
Divorced
I was supposed to play Catherine of Aragon at my drama club and see Six in the summer but they both got cancelled :(
@@mars-nf9cj BEHEADED
DIED
Evan laughing at the word "postie" is one of the most American things I've seen
"Why d'you need to know all the monarchs?"
Two words: Pub quizzes
I know it off by heart...
Me too verses and choruses
Yes! Not entirely the same but the show Tenable had a question to name the last ten monarchs, started at George II and then just reeled them off! Person I was with was fairly impressed!
I’d kick ass at that game! Well, after Edward the confessor, anyway. I could name a few before him, but not in order. And I’m American😉
@@mangot589 impressive 👏👏
That awkward moment when Evan thinks Victoria is the current Queen.
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
Also Evan if you're ever feeling sad, look up horrible histories bloopers, perks me right up every time
No Horrible Histories Song Is Never Boring . That’s coming from a Londoner
The highway man has so many views because Matt he is Matt baynton in eyeliner looking like that
Fun fact: I saw somewhere that out of the THOUSANDS of facts on that show only 8 were kind of wrong. They had historians present every time fact checking and they only counted 8
Many young teenage girls and a few teen boys visiting that video.
It’s also an absolute banger
I love horrible history’s because it’s just a group of 6 people filling all the main roles with extras. They write it all to
Yep, the 6 Idiots are legends. I can't wait for Ghosts Series 2. SO EXCITED!!!!
Vintage Angel yessss
@@vintageangel1207 yaaaassssss
@@vintageangel1207 *series 3* can't wait (series 2 on iPlayer)
You forgot the Rosa Parks song that resurfaced after George Floyd’s death.
It resurfaced after George Floyd's death? I had no clue. But what annoys me about the Rosa Parks song and tbh Rosa Parks in general is everyone acts like she was the first black woman to stay on the bus in the face of white discrimination. She wasn't. Claudette Colvin did the same 9 months ago, at age 15, in the same city, and was jailed. But Claudette got little to no recognition, not nearly as much as Rosa did as she was a lot darker skinned than Rosa and also pregnant so it caused some issues at the time. It would just be nice for Claudette to be recognised, esp by horrible histories
@@oliviadaly4795 lets face it, a more accurate name for the series would be “Horrible Pop Cultures”
Number 1: Charles II bought back partying because Puritans (led by Oliver Cromwell) banned a lot of celebrations etc.
2 Dick Turpin is a famous highwayman (someone who robbed carriages at gunpoint) he is best known from having the story Black Bess based on him (although that's not historically accurate)
3 You have to learn the Monarch song!
4 The Cousins one is actually from a special episode not a regular episode so is often not counted so interested you included that!
Do a part 2!
Evan: *doesn’t like the Dick Turpin song*
Me: *angry Adam and the Ants noises*
he's too young to remember..lol.
Considerably lowered my opinion of Evan ::((
Now I feel very old, because "Stand and Deliver" was number one in the charts the day that I was born.
"Historical Gerard Way" indeed! Bah!
@@juneseghni I'm 22 and I recognised Stand and Deliver within the first second. Evan should be ashamed of himself. *harrumph*
Saternalius I was a bit pfft at that too! Adam Ant is amazing and Stand and Deliver is a great song

Horrible histories disco anyone??
literallyyyyy

i currently live in japan but me and my family are gonna go back to england soon
None of my friends have watched Horrible Histories as much as I have
I don’t take history but I imagine the exam hall u can hear the echo of everyone singing horrible histories songs
idk why i didn’t see this comment 8 months ago but as an A level history student i can assure you there has been much muttered singing in my class (half of our course is around Tudors)
@Holly Bramhall that’s a beautiful comment. From my heart, thank you. You let me imagine loads of 16 year olds in business dress quietly singing ‘I’m Henry eight I had six wives...’
@@peacefulleopard8016 that was basically our first few lessons😭 except the dress code’s pretty chill so it doesn’t have to be business dress hdjsdhfjjf
@@peacefulleopard8016 so many history lessons i end up with either horrible histories songs or six the musical songs in my head (i even got the english civil war song in my head from a few minutes’ discussion in one lesson)

Necter if the gods
My GCSE teacher legitimately taught most lessons with Horrible Histories and unsurprisingly it worked
We occasionally watched some in Alevel history too
Same though

Sameee

"Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced beheaded, survived."
I’m Henry the eight I’ve had six sorry wives some might say I ruined their LIVEEEESSSS

@@annaf2828 yessss!!!!
Im actually Irish, but this show was my no. 1 source of history information all through out primary school. Our teachers even played it during break on rainy days.
So many British people have massive smiles across their faces
No this video mad eme angry
Evan, the Dick Turpin song was a parody of "stand and deliver" by Adam and the Ants, right down to the eyeliner!
definitely need to do a part two: born to rule, cleopatra, divorced beheaded and died, mary queen of scots, pachacuti and boudica
Love Cleopatra and Pachacuti
Lol do you mean Mary Tudor? I dont think there's a mary queen of Scots song
Born to rule is one of my faves!!!! But the Monarch song is the best.
And the Borgias!
@@celebalert5616 There is but in the reboot
Fun fact: it has been widely agreed that having a crush on mat baynton is British culture.
(He was the guy who played dick Turpin if you didn’t know)
Well I'm not saying I _do_ , but yeah I do
rafflesdog 😂
"I don't know why you'd have to memorize the monarchs", from a guy who probably had to memorize presidents. Monarchs, from a historical perspective, are probably a lot more important as they were related to alliances, wars, and other international relations.
The whole reason why I am watching this because I love horrible histories. I know all the songs
King Charles 2 “brought back partying” because when he became king, that was called the restoration, and it marked the return of fun things, like plays, music, makeup, social events(parties) and Christmas celebrations, which had previously been banned by Oliver Cromwell (who was a Puritan).
Came here to say just this!
Eva Bailey :’D
Not to mention all the debauchery and sex
Which it did explain pretty well in the lyrics, but Evan was busy reacting.
They also often do sketches around the songs which explain more too
Every British child had a crush on Matthew Baynton NO EXCEPTIONS
Sexuality isn’t a question with Baynton.
Actually I was weirdly in love with Jim howick when I was little
edit to add my first crush was death, not the actor the character
what do u mean HAD
Robyn as an Aussie I definitely had a crush too
honestly, i'm a lesbian and i still had a crush on him
He brought back partying because olly banned almost everything fun with his protestant regime including things like theatre and Christmas etc
You have to hear:
Cleopatra

Divorced beheaded died
Boudicca

When he doesn't realise Dick Turpin is based off Adam and the Ants...
I’m from America and love 80s and Adam and the Ants is not that popular here. Like the Dick Turpin song introduced me to Adam and the Ants and when I played Stand and Deliver in the car with my mom she recognized Adam and the Ants but not the song
"I love historical Gerard Way"
Adam Ant: Am I a joke to you?

@@rosalindhartley416 I can't stand 6+, the new cast just don't sit right with me, but maybe that's not because I grew up with them as a child
@@bunkedoffherdaddyx Nah, I don't know what it is but the efforts to make it "relatable" seem a bit eh and they make me uncomfortable.
Like, Jane Austen Love Island was wrong on so many levels, aside from portraying fiction as historically accurate. Why do that to Austen? Why even bring Love Island into a kids' show??
The new cast are good. Just that they are a slight downgrade from the phonominal team of actors/writers/musicians/theatre kids we were used to. They wrote a lot of the stuff and generally enjoyed it.
At least Simon and Jim stayed on for one or two more seasons, tho nine year old me screamed when it changed to 'Chatty Deaths', it didnt roll of the tongue like stupid did. I think maybe devoting whole episodes to certain people and Themes weren't nearly as enjoyable too.
If you more of the group as a whole there are yonderland(now tv entertainment), Bill (amazon prime) and Ghosts (BBC I-player).
Yeah, I was almost scream crying 'we're history' because that just made too much of an emotional impact on me.

@@emmagill6237 honestly it's insulting lmao
Answering all of your questions:
• King Charles (2) brought back partying because he abolished the Puritan (strict christian) state introduced by Oliver Cromwell
• Dick Turpin was a famous highwayman, a robber who targeted upper class people traveling usually in carriages. He was famous for appearing in a poem by Alfred Noyes called "the highwayman". Most people in the UK study the poem in school despite it not being true to life.
* Also if you do another horrible histories video, watch the "finale" song and the actual intro to the show
also Charles is often referred to as the Merry Monarch which adds to the party
no songs about the puritans, Singing and dancing are Evil and should be baned with Christmas!
Dick Turpin was highly romanticised similar to how some people fall in love with serial killers.
Thanks now I don't need to get a seizure
@@lisahenry20 Dick Terpins main claim to fame is when in London he asked a magistrate the time, he then robed someone, he then rode his horse to York and enquired the time. his defence was there was no time to commit the crime he was riding between London and York
another part of british culture is having a giant crush on mat baynton
Oh my god yes
yess! and i see you're a crybaby too😂
Oh god yes.
Truth.
Absolute truth
As a british person who grew up in the 2010's, these songs hit me with so much nostalgia. I'm now 13, I haven't watched cbbc in years but my 8 yo sister still watches Horrible Histories and cbbc in general, I was mildly excited to walk into my living room to find the TV left of and the new series playing. History is still one of my favourite subjects for sure. As for the 'King who brought back partying', Cromwell banned any form of fun, as he was a strict protestant known as a Puritan. So when Charles was put on the throne, he brought back fun and he enjoyed to party. I also feel weird realising I know all the lyrics to the Monarch Song. It's definitely the most iconic HH song to me. 100% a classic.
We are taught the names of every monach in school, they created the song because they wanted to help teach kids how to easily remember it, and some schools use it as an aid
If you don’t know the words to King of Bling you’re not British
I do
That should be on the citizenship test 😂
So all of my friends 😂😂 alright
I had it as my ringtone. I think I had to text a special number to get it
Evan: doesn't react to the pachicuti song
Me: sad Briton noises
Also no "Born to Rule" :(
"Born 2 Rule" my bad
The Kings and Queens song is just about the English monarchs because Scotland had a whole separate monarchy until James I in 1603

I want that to happen
RIP West End musicals

@@leosturgeon5931 they would be amazing
It's already a film . That Roman one though I haven't watched it.
Fun fact about Horrible Histories, it won an award for the best comedy show in the UK, not an award for best children's show, best comedy show period. The BBC also put Horrible Histories on a later time slot because adults liked to watch it as well, so they made it so that people working regular hours could make it back home to catch the show.
The amount of serotonin in my body right now!! 😆😆😆
I've met Matt Baynton, he came to where I work with his family

The bringing back partying is because not jolly olly banned parties
Would be miserable as sin only sinning’s not allowed.

Charles Burton Get rid of his dull laws, come back, we’d rather party.
@@evan you ruined the thread of lyrics
Charles Burton which naturally was followed by a huge celebration
you don't even know how disappointed I was to find out these aren't even on spotify
Dick Turpin was an English highwayman who lived during the Georgian period. He was executed at York castle, on the 7th April 1739, after being convicted on two counts of horse theft. He was killed by hanging, and you can actually visit his cell and the rest of York castle.
"I don't know why he's the king who bought back partying"
... cause he took over from oliver cronwell and got rid of hella strict rules including no partying... did you not listen to the song?
You need to listen to
The ww2 pilot one
Rah rah cleopatra
The Charles Dickens one
Born 2 rule
Do the PACHACUTI
Edit- also I SAT ON A BUS (Rosa parks)

YESSS!!!
And the farewell song, we’re history
@@tropicalbeaches Yes
Yes yes yes yes and yes!
William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, oi!
the handy thing about the monarch's song is that it's mostly the same names repeated, not many new ones to learn
i feel like everyone had a crush on Mathew Baynton in hh
has*
Rebecca Leech thanks for the corrections everyone HAS a crush on Mathew Baynton

Do u remember when Rowan Atkinson was in it for a while as well

I used to feel so inferior to the Disney kids but now I appreciate being a CBBC kid and growing up with Horrible Histories. Joke’s on them
Yesss same 😂
Same

Same
The books were such an integral part of my childhood and teenage years. I actually plan to buy a full set when I move into my own place
You must do another song episode; do:
"Literally," The Vikings
"Born to Rule," The 4 Georges
"I sat on a bus," Rosa Parks (that would be interesting to see reacted to from a US perspective).
"We're History," The Horrible Histories finale song
And Pachacuti and Boudicca.
@@Als15165 I was about to say!
👌👌
I second ‘born to rule’. Also ‘British things’
Also RAF pilots song, that was fire
No one at all:
Me, unprovoked: WILLIAM WILLIAM HENRY STEPHEN HENRY RICHARD JOHN!
HENRY EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD RICHARD 2 THEN THREE MORE HENRY'S JOIN OUR SONG EDWARD EDWARD RICH THE THIRD HENRY HENRY EDWARD IV MARY 1 GOOD QUEEN LIZ!
"that's me time for more men."
Jimmy Charles and Charles and then, James Will Mary Anna Gloria George George George George Will Victoria
@@lorrainedowning7670 Edward George Edward George 6 and Queen Liz 2 completes the mix!
I ruled for 64 years you know
Me: **likes Horrible Histories**
Also me: **likes Hamilton**
Still me: is there a pattern going on here?
"Terrible Tudors, Gorgeous Georgians, Slimy Stewarts, Vile Victorians...."
All aspects of History were covered here, Egyptians, Wars, and even a chapter called "Awesome USA"!
One of the very best songs is “I sat on a bus” (about Rosa Parks) It’s super catchy and I always have it stuck in my head
Omg yessssss
YES! It's unbelievably brilliant, & OMG Dominique Moore can sing!!
It’s so good !!!!!
I thought that was universally disliked? It’s so boring and not clever (but good to remember Rosa Parks)
@@molly-6738 What?? The Rosa Parks song was amazing!
in case anyone was wondering, the main (nostalgic) cast of horrible histories was: mat baynton, martha howe-douglas, simon farnaby, jim howick, laurence rickard and ben willbond. they are no longer on horrible histories, but they’ve all done other things individually, and now they are still together and together have made yonderland (tv show) bill (film) and ghosts (tv show) all of which i would highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed horrible histories! they are all great and i love them! and ghosts series 2 is coming soon :D
Ghosts is honestly great, I get such HH vibes from it. It's not HH though and never will be, but the styles are similar sometimes.
Welcome2MyWorld yesss! it’s actually become one of my all time favourite tv shows!
OH MY GOD, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
@@sineadlucas3682 no problem, they are a great talented bunch of people :D
It kinda sucks now there's a new cast 😕
I’m a 60-something-year-old American who loves Horrible Histories because of the brilliant writing and acting..we never had such educational shows in America, but we should have!! Besides, the women in the cast are beautiful!!
the Dick Turpin songs based on Adam Ants, 'Stand and Deliver!"
We need a part two! With Born to Rule, British things, The Borgia Family and many more songs!
Maybe... Patchacutti?
And the RAF pilot song
Cleopatra and Boudicca
@@swisinwisin1746 I literally started singing the song... just from that one word
Farewell song
WE’RE HISTORYYYYYYY
This is OUR childhood. One cannot describe how we feel when we collectively hear:
Terrible Tudors, Gorgeous Georgians
Slimy Stuarts, Vile Victorians...
The past is no longer a mystery
Welcome to Horrible Histories.
Woeful wars, ferocious fights, dingy castles and daring knights, horrors that defy description, cutthroat Celt, Awful Egyptians, vicious Viking’s,, cruel crime, punishments from ancient times.
Evan: I'm here for historical Gerard Way
Adam Ant: hold my beer
You know that you're properly British when start shushing the phone for talking over the songs of your childhood
Cleopatra song is a must. “Rah rah cleopatra” 😍😍😍
Famous beauty coming atcha. One of Martha's best.
No Pictures, No Pictures!!!
So is the workhouses song
